Aung San Suu Kyi
Born: Aung San Suu Kyi June 19, 1945 (Age: 65) Rangoon, Burma (Yangon, Myanmar) Occupation: Democracy activist Advocate for Democracy Years in action: 1988 - present
(part 4) In November, 2010, Aung San Suu Kyi's pro-democratic efforts and release made papers everywhere. The New York Times published an article discussing the ways in which Aung San Suu Kyi now has to face the world after her recent release from house arrest in November 2010. The article mainly talked about how much love Suu Kyi has received from her supporters. Although the military backed government, her main opposition, is still in power and has many loopholes to gain more power, Suu Kyi has still remained loved by her "devotees," so the Times says. The Times also mentions the national and international effect Suu Kyi's actions will have. Because her political party, the National League for Democracy, has been formally disbanded, many skeptic historians, such as Mr. Thant Myint-U, have reported to the Times, that regardlesss of any past difficulty she had in the public, Suu Kyi will have to face more than she ever did before. Critics believe that although still strong after coming out of her third arrest, Suu Kyi will be fighting harder than ever and encountering more troubles as she continues her fight for Myanmaran democracy.

Halfway around the world, Suu Kyi is bringing stories to more local papers, such as the Irrawaddy Magazine, which reports and publishes in Burma. This article, published on November 14, 2010 by the magazine's editor Aung Zaw, highlighted more of Suu Kyi's political influence rather than her social influence. The article stated that many of the surrounding countries of Burma, which are members of Asean, a south Asian organization, approve the recently elected military strong government. However, Suu Kyi's non-violent protest has earned her many supporters, and she remains as a reminder of an opposing force within Myanmar, as says Zaw. This opposing force, following the steps of her radical father, keeps much interests in reforms in areas such as economy for the country of Myanmar. But a remaining concern is her safety as a leader of a democratic Burma. To go to this Irrawaddy Magazine article, click here.
(part 5) Aung San Suu Kyi first made her mark in the political picture of Burma in 1988, when she gave a speech on democracy after her residence in England with her husband. Her latest speech was given on November 14, 2010, after her release from house arrest.

(part 9)
Aung San Suu Kyi has, for about 22 years now, been fighting for democracy in her home country of Burma, now called Myanmar. She has rallied up scores of people in support for her efforts to make sure that the people have a voice. In fact, a key point in every one of her speeches is that the people must be heard and represented when it comes to government. As stated above, Madame Suu, in Burmese, Daw Suu, has her eyes set on a Burmese democracy. Following the steps of her father, who was also a rebel against the government, Daw Suu has given countless speeches on the necessity and beauty of democracy. The current government is one in which the military officials are very powerful and pretty much run the government. Daw Suu has been arrested three times, each time being put on house arrest for at least one year at a time, her last prison term being about one year. Although Daw Suu has faced a legally-required disbanding of her party, and a loss of votes for her party, she has made a significant impact in the way the military government sees her. People say that she makes her presence clear, and the miltary government knows that they are not blindly ruling the people, but do have rebels advocating for change. The military officials know that Daw Suu has a voice, and one that many listen to. In this way, Daw Suu has succeeded in what she was trying to accomplish. Her democratic government may not have arrived yet, but it doesn't seem like anyone can stop her.
(part 11)
Aung San Suu Kyi, while fighting the military-run government, has been forced to face many setbacks along her reform-based career. She has been put on house arrest three times. The first time was for a six-year period from 1989 to 1995. The second time was for a two year period from 2000 to 2002. The last, and most recent, was her almost 1 year sentence throughout 2009 and 2010. She was recently released from this last imprisonment on November 14, 2010. Other setbacks that Daw Suu has faced include the disbanding of her pro-democratic political party, which is probably the most significant of her losses. Also, her party has seen some losses of seats in the government. However, despite the losses, the party has shown the military that they will have a comeback. At age 65, Daw Suu still shows signs of a determination to instill democracy.
(part 12)
Aung San Suu Kyi's democratic campaign has harnessed scores of support since the first speech she made. Her aspects of power to the people and the people's voice were huge sellers in the political game. Today, she continues to gather support for her democratic government through speeches and public appearances. She has affected people and Burma greatly. Until the emergence of the campaigns of both Daw Suu and her father, the Burmese people were forced to live unhappily under the country's military junta government. However, today, Daw Suu has a large place in the hearts of Burmese people, and continues to affect those around her, including the military junta. The officials of the current government may have seen themselves as invincible before, but now, Daw Suu has made them completely aware of the fact that opposition and want for reform does exist in the country. In addition, Daw Suu has made her stamp in the entire world by winning the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize. Now the awardee of one of the most "Nobel" prizes on the planet, she certainly has affected the people and world around her by showing that not giving up on the causes you believe in surely does pay off in success.
